The City and the Dogs

“Why are you staring at me cadet? You want my picture on my bare ass or what?”

Alberto Fernández (Pablo Serra), nicknamed the Poet, is a cadet at the Leoncio Prado Military Academy in Lima, one of four angry boys who band together to beat a system built on boredom and confinement. Francisco J. Lombardi adapts Mario Vargas Llosa's novel, and a theft among the cadets sets off a chain of events that ends in murder. Lieutenant Gamboa (Gustavo Bueno) stands in the middle of it all, the one officer left holding the academy's rules.
